訪談結果發現，影響青少年吸煙的原因主要包括個人、朋輩及家庭因素，大部分青少年都認為朋輩對他們形成吸煙行為的影響相對較大；而雖然青少年普遍都知道吸煙有害健康，但初次嘗試吸煙者則認為吸煙不會使他們有嚴重的上癮行為，在沒有直接損害利益的前提下，他們普遍不會考慮戒煙，並會持續吸煙，使宣導成效大減。同時，受訪者均對《新控煙法》有一定程度的認知及持有正面態度，但希望政府可以進一步加強執法力度，透過參考不同地區的控煙政策及其成效，特別是針對青少年群體方面的教育宣導，可以從小便開展有關工作，制訂具針對性的控煙策略，透過新渠道或方式進行宣導，改變吸煙文化，政府亦可以聯同各個政府部門、民間團體等合作，提升政策執行力及成效，共同建構澳門成為無煙城市。
